Hello,
I’m a happy new user of the Furuno system. My setup is:
Furuno TZT10XL powered by a dedicated 100Ah lithium battery
1 kW in-hull Airmar M135M transducer
Installed on a 19 ft RIB
During my first trip I noticed an issue: I lose bottom reading at speeds above approximately 11 knots, even in shallow water (around 20 ft).
When drifting or moving slowly, everything works perfectly and the detection is excellent. I can clearly read the bottom and see great detail in depths of up to 400 ft.
Previously, I was using a Lowrance HDS with the same transducer setup, and it was able to maintain bottom lock at 25 knots in depths over 300 ft.
Because I’m new to Furuno systems, I believe I probably need to fine-tune the MFD sonar settings.
Could someone help me with the recommended setup for saltwater fishing?
Thank you in advance for your help.
